The former councilman cheered loudly for
Ms. Teachout as she criticized the governor in remarks at the second
annual Iftar dinner of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, of which
Mr. Jackson is a founding member. Mr. Jackson then himself blasted Mr.
Cuomo for including protections for charter schools in the state budget
and for failing to pass public financing of elections.

“I think that the governor jammed us and
the state of New York on education, and he jammed Bill de Blasio,” the
State Senate hopeful said. “We’ve been jammed by the governor on
education, and he has jammed us on campaign finance reform.”

Jackson also went on to hammer de Blasio over education:

Mr. Jackson then went on to attack Mr. de
Blasio and his Department of Education for allowing a branch of the
controversial Success Academy charter school chain to open in Upper
Manhattan’s Mother Cabrini High School—claiming that the administration
had failed to consult the local Community Education Council about the
plan.

“Bill de Blasio jammed District 6,” Mr.
Jackson said. “They didn’t even have the courtesy to let the CEC know or
any of the leaders in District 6.”

What Robert Jackson doesn't seem to understand is that Eva Moskowitz owns this city, so whatever she wants, she gets.

Most other politicians in this city and state seem to understand that.
